Chip seal is only as good as the base it is applied to. On asphalt it is great if you first "caulk" the cracks with a hot tar to make it impervious to water. If applied over dirt or cinder, the dirt or cinder must be stabilized by hydrated lime for dirt, heavy oil tar for cinder/ gravel to make it more like asphalt. Failure to do the prep dooms the chip seal to rapid failure.
This is what a reputable, professional road construction company will do if they want to guarantee their work past the "tail light" warranty (only good until you can't see their tail light as they leave, for those unfamiliar with the term).
